That's right. Their options are to quit, or else stay and try to make a difference. And a few do.
But the vast majority of them see that the higher echelons are filled with the worst elements, because the system has been promoting the most-aggressive, most-boundless, cops/guards they can find. This likely wasn't even a great plan, just bad management-- as Police Departments and prisons were asked to handle higher loads, to do more things, and to suppress more heavily, it was only natural that the system favored the most aggressive (visibly) cops, even if they were a bit excessive and crossed the line. Over time, this built up to a massive structure of corrupt and hateful motherfuckers at the top of the totem pole, making sure only others like them can climb up.
So the "Good Cop" sees he'll never be promoted unless he joins the corrupt culture, and either changes to fit, or quits. Nothing changes.

I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Missouri mayor ordered drug raid to intimidate woman who flipped him off: ACLU
I'm surprised they didn't plant find any drugs in her house.
Quote:The mayor directed city workers to remove Warren’s water meter and ordered Piedmont police to pull her over and order her to stop a petition drive against rising water bills, the suit claims.
Kirkpatrick also persuaded Wayne County Sheriff Dean Finch, two deputies and a state police narcotics officer to search her home three weeks ago for drugs, according to the suit.

Or he gets shot in the face like Frank Serpico because his "brothers in blue" are just a little slow to provide back-up when the shit hits the fan.

They didn't give a shit that she was in the tub, or that there was evidence that she couldn't just get up when asked. The term deescalation just isn't in their vocabulary.
